It also operates a service from Proserpine station to Shute Harbour that connects with Traveltrain's Spirit of Queensland service.[4]
Fleet
As at August 2014, the fleet comprised of 30 buses and coaches.[5] Under Sampson ownership, fleet livery was cream offset by blue and red. When Colin Crossley purchased the business, he introduced the two blue and yellow carried by his Sydney operation. In 1998, a blue waves livery was introduced.
